Microsoft Langley Data Center is a planned 40 MW hyperscale cloud facility located at Langley Business Centre, 6A Station Road, in Langley, Berkshire, United Kingdom. The development represents an expansion of Microsoft's digital infrastructure in the Thames Valley, one of the UK's most established data center markets. Situated just east of Slough, the facility is positioned within a major concentration of data center infrastructure, telecommunications networks and cloud services serving Greater London and the wider UK market. The project involves transforming an existing light-industrial business park into a modern computing facility designed to support Microsoft's cloud infrastructure requirements. With a planned capacity of 40 MW, the development is expected to provide additional computing resources for Microsoft Azure and other cloud-based services, supporting enterprise applications, data storage, digital platforms and increasingly demanding workloads. Its proposed role within the Azure UK South cloud region would strengthen Microsoft's regional infrastructure capacity and contribute to the availability of cloud services for businesses and public-sector organizations. The Langley location offers proximity to Slough's established data center ecosystem, providing access to a technology corridor with a concentration of digital infrastructure operators and connectivity services. This regional clustering is strategically important for cloud providers seeking to expand capacity while maintaining access to major enterprise markets and network infrastructure. The redevelopment of an existing industrial and commercial site also demonstrates how established business properties can be adapted to accommodate the growing physical requirements of cloud computing. If delivered as planned, Microsoft Langley Data Center will add another hyperscale compute location to the UK's digital infrastructure landscape and support the continued expansion of Azure services across the region.
